Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Chronicle (2001-2002) is a sci-fi TV series based on the News from the Edge novel series by Mark Sumner and developed for television by Silvio Horta. The show follows employees at the tabloid newspaper, the World Chronicle: Tucker Burns, the everyman and latest hiring; Grace Hall, a veteran reporter and multiple alien abductee; Wes Freewald, the staff photographer and proud sci-fi geek; and Donald Stern, the enigmatic editor/owner. Also turning up frequently are Sal, a Pig Man that runs the paper's archives, and Vera, the Sassy Secretary. While everyone thinks they just make up their stories, they always do encounter real monsters and aliens — most of whom turn out to be not as scary as they seem. The show ran for one season of 22 episodes on the Sci Fi Channel.

Aborted Arc

comment
Aborted Arc: Several episodes demonstrated that Donald had a Mysterious Past and that he was not quite what he seemed. When an alien assassin comes for him, he knows why, but the story he gives the staff doesn't pan out. Assuming the writers had answers in mind for this arc, the show's cancellation meant they never got the chance to follow through.

Added Alliterative Appeal: The conversation between Donald, Wes, and Tucker, near the beginning of "Pig Boy's Big Adventure" certainly is something superb.

Alchemy Is Magic

comment
Alchemy Is Magic: In "He's Dead, She's Dead," two self-proclaimed alchemists spent their lives trying to figure out a way to beat death. A few people Came Back Wrong as a result of their experiments, becoming mindless and violent. One of the alchemists actually died before the episode - his body later abducted. The dead alchemist is successfully brought back to life and as his old self, but he's then shot by his daughter for playing God.
